DOWNDRAFT BLOWER SYSTEM

PLANNING

This downdraft blower system is

designed to be used to exhaust

airborne contaminants when

cooking with a variety of gas or

electric cooktops. It can be

mounted in island, peninsula, or

conventional wall locations.

This unit can be easily installed

following these basic steps:

•

Cut out the countertop

opening.

•

Mount the unit in the

cabinet.

•

Connect the ductwork

and electrical.

•

Install the cooktop.

PLANNING - (continued)

Note: The high level of air flow of this appliance may affect the

gas flame on some types of gas cooktops. This is NORMAL and

will cause no harm, but can be corrected by lowering the speed

of the blower.

3. The system will operate most efficiently when the ductwork

does not exceed 40 feet of equivalent duct. The chart, above,

shows equivalent feet of elbows and transitions. The number

of feet of straight duct plus the equivalent feet of transitions

and/or elbows to be used should equal 40 feet or less.

NOTE: The equivalent feet of various roof and wall caps has

been taken into consideration. Do not include them in this

calculation.

PLAN THE WIRING

1. The downdraft blower system draws 4 AMPS and requires a

120 VAC, 60 Hz circuit.

2. The unit has a 2 ft. long power cord with a 3-pronged plug.

Plan to provide a grounded outlet in a location which will allow

the unit’s power cord to reach. (Note: If the Model 2730 is

being installed in a 30" wide cabinet or the Model 2736 is being

installed in a 36" wide cabinet, the outlet cannot be located on

the back wall of cabinet.) Outlet may also be wall-mounted,

with access hole in cabinet.

TAKE MEASUREMENTS

1. Refer to the cooktop installation instructions for dimensions

of cooktop, countertop cut-out, and cabinet requirements.

The Model 2730 will fit in most 30" wide cabinets and the

Model 2736 will fit in most 36" wide cabinets. However, it is

recommended that oversized cabinets be used for easier

installation.

2. Cooktop depth can vary greatly from one to another. This may

cause the fit of these two appliances to be rather tight.

Pay special attention to the areas of potential interference

highlighted above. A countertop with (A) a raised lip and/or (B) a

backsplash may not allow enough flat countertop for a proper

installation. Note that 2" of flat countertop is required behind

cooktop and that 1-3/4" is necessary between the back edge of

the cooktop and the inside of cabinet back.

PLAN THE DUCTWORK

1. This downdraft blower system is designed for use with 3-1/4"

x 10" ductwork (can be transitioned to 6" round). Three

different discharge directions are available with side-to-side

adjustment for accurate alignment of ductwork.

2. For best performance: Choose the ducting option which

allows the shortest length of ductwork and a minimum

number of elbows and transitions. Check location of floor

joists, wall studs, electrical wiring or plumbing for possible

interference. NOTE: The unit is shipped with the 3-1/4" x 10"

discharge facing DOWN. See “CHANGING BLOWER DI-

RECTION” on page 3, if necessary.

PREPARATION

CHANGING BLOWER DISCHARGE (Optional)

The blower is shipped with its discharge facing DOWN. Follow

these steps ONLY if:

•

the position of the blower discharge needs to be moved so

ductwork does not interfere with floor joists, plumbing or

wiring below.

•

it is necessary to rotate the blower discharge to the RIGHT

or LEFT.

CUT COUNTERTOP OPENING

1. Lay out and cut the cooktop cut-out far enough FORWARD

so downdraft will fit behind it.

2. Set cooktop in place and slide it as far forward as possible.

Center and square it with edges of countertop.

3. Place the plastic template against the back flange of the

cooktop and center it. Trace around template to mark the

downdraft opening.

4. Remove cooktop from countertop.

5. Cut downdraft opening. Be careful not to chip edges of

countertop.

MOUNT THE UNIT

Place the unit on its back on a table or work surface.

DOWN DISCHARGE - MOVING BLOWER LEFT OR RIGHT

1. Set downdraft into opening. Extend leveling brackets to floor

of cabinet so downdraft sits straight. (Note: Leveling brackets

can be removed and re-attached in other positions. Bottom

flange may have to face inward in tight cabinet installations.)

2. Secure the downdraft to the countertop as follows: Hold the

downdraft against the back of countertop cut-out and tighten-

ing the 2 mounting screws (one on each end of unit) on

underside of countertop. Use a wood shim between screw

and underside of granite countertops.

3. Screw leveling brackets to bottom of cabinet. Tighten screws

holding leveling bracket to unit on each side.

electrical wiring or plumbing.

1. Cut hole in cabinet as well as holes in wall or floor as

necessary.

2. Mount the roof or wall cap and work back towards the cabinet,

attaching all ductwork, elbows and transitions as previously

planned. Tape all ductwork connections to make them secure

and air tight.

3. Connect ductwork (and transition, if required) to downdraft. If

necessary, LOOSEN nuts and screws that hold the blower in

place, and slide blower left or right to meet ductwork. Re-

tighten screws and nuts.

Note: A 3-1/4" x 10" collar is provided for installers who prefer to

rivet the ductwork to the unit. This will allow blower to be removed

and replaced easily in service situations without disturbing

ductwork.

INSTALL ELECTRICAL WIRING

1. Mount a standard wiring box, with 3-pronged receptacle,

inside the cabinet. Make sure the downdraft’s power cord can

easily reach it.

2. Run appropriate power cable into cabinet and connect it to

receptacle.

3. Plug the downdraft’s power cord into the outlet.

WIRING DIAGRAM

INSTALL COOKTOP

1. Align the cooktop with the downdraft and fasten cooktop in

place.

Note: Accurate alignment of cooktop and downdraft is necessary

to ensure that there is no interference when air vent is raised and

lowered. There should be a gap of 1/32"-1/16" between the back

of the cooktop and the front of the downdraft cover.

ADJUSTMENT
